Subnet

This section describes the Subnet resource used in Mirantis Container Cloud API to allocate IP addresses for the cluster nodes.

For demonstration purposes, the Container Cloud Subnet custom resource (CR) can be split into the following major sections:

Subnet metadata

The Container Cloud Subnet CR contains the following fields:

  • apiVersion

    API version of the object that is ipam.mirantis.com/v1alpha1.

  • kind

    Object type that is Subnet

  • metadata

    This field contains the following subfields:

    • name

      Name of the Subnet object.

    • namespace

      Project in which the Subnet object was created.

    • labels

      Key-value pairs that are attached to the object:

      • ipam/DefaultSubnet: "1"

        Indicates that the subnet was automatically created for the PXE network. The subnet with this label is unique for a specific region and global for all clusters and projects in the region.

      • ipam/UID

        Unique ID of a subnet.

      • kaas.mirantis.com/provider

        Provider type.

      • kaas.mirantis.com/region

        Region type.

Configuration example:

apiVersion: ipam.mirantis.com/v1alpha1
kind: Subnet
metadata:
  name: kaas-mgmt
  namespace: default
  labels:
    ipam/DefaultSubnet: "1"
    ipam/UID: 1bae269c-c507-4404-b534-2c135edaebf5
    kaas.mirantis.com/provider: baremetal
    kaas.mirantis.com/region: region-one

Subnet spec

The spec field of the Subnet resource describes the desired state of a subnet. It contains the following fields:

  • cidr

    A valid IPv4 CIDR, for example, 10.11.0.0/24.

  • gateway

    A valid gateway address, for example, 10.11.0.9.

  • includeRanges

    A list of IP address ranges within the given CIDR that should be used in the allocation of IPs for nodes. The gateway, network, broadcast, and DNS addresses will be excluded (protected) automatically if they intersect with one of the range. The IPs outside the given ranges will not be used in the allocation. Each element of the list can be either an interval 10.11.0.5-10.11.0.70 or a single address 10.11.0.77. The includeRanges parameter is mutually exclusive with excludeRanges.

  • excludeRanges

    A list of IP address ranges within the given CIDR that should not be used in the allocation of IPs for nodes. The IPs within the given CIDR but outside the given ranges will be used in the allocation. The gateway, network, broadcast, and DNS addresses will be excluded (protected) automatically if they are included in the CIDR. Each element of the list can be either an interval 10.11.0.5-10.11.0.70 or a single address 10.11.0.77. The excludeRanges parameter is mutually exclusive with includeRanges.

  • useWholeCidr

    If set to false (by default), the subnet address and broadcast address will be excluded from the address allocation. If set to true, the subnet address and the broadcast address are included into the address allocation for nodes.

  • nameservers

    The list of IP addresses of name servers. Each element of the list is a single address, for example, 172.18.176.6.

Configuration example:

spec:
  cidr: 172.16.48.0/24
  excludeRanges:
  - 172.16.48.99
  - 172.16.48.101-172.16.48.145
  gateway: 172.16.48.1
  nameservers:
  - 172.18.176.6

Subnet status

The status field of the Subnet resource describes the actual state of a subnet. It contains the following fields:

  • allocatable

    The number of IP addresses that are available for allocation.

  • allocatedIPs

    The list of allocated IP addresses in the IP:<IPAddr object UID> format.

  • capacity

    The total number of IP addresses to be allocated, including the sum of allocatable and already allocated IP addresses.

  • cidr

    The IPv4 CIDR for a subnet.

  • gateway

    The gateway address for a subnet.

  • nameservers

    The list of IP addresses of name servers.

  • ranges

    The list of IP address ranges within the given CIDR that are used in the allocation of IPs for nodes.

Configuration example:

status:
  allocatable: 51
  allocatedIPs:
  - 172.16.48.200:24e94698-f726-11ea-a717-0242c0a85b02
  - 172.16.48.201:2bb62373-f726-11ea-a717-0242c0a85b02
  - 172.16.48.202:37806659-f726-11ea-a717-0242c0a85b02
  capacity: 54
  cidr: 172.16.48.0/24
  gateway: 172.16.48.1
